Ancient God Library

Chapter 169

After learning that nothing happened to Alice, Romon breathed a sigh of relief.

This is the first friend he made in the Plantagenet Empire, allowing him to integrate into the life of this world, it can be said that it has given him a lot of help.

Seeing this booklet at this moment, I immediately feel like meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

Romon stopped a steam carriage on the side of the road and rushed to the address the man gave him, No. 31 Forge Street, Furnace Church.

Romon, the Diocese of the Forge, was unfamiliar.

Although it was only last night, it was limited to the area over the underground tavern.

Just like Steam Parish has a distinct style.

Forge Street is one of the streets in the Furnace Parish. It has a strong Furnace Church style. The buildings are reddish. Blacksmith shops and various weapon shops can be seen everywhere.

No. 31 Furnace Street is called the Flame Tavern, and it is a very deserted tavern.

When Romon walked into the tavern, he felt that someone was watching him. The gaze came from a corner, a man in a black coat and a hood.

Men and women are not visible.

But Romon was sure that the other party must be looking at him.

He paused, turned around and walked over, sat across from the small round table, and after confirming the identity of the other party, he smiled and said, "Long time no see."

The other party took off his hood and showed a familiar face, "Yeah, long time no see."

Looking at Romon with blue gem-like eyes, Alice smiled, and two dimples appeared on her face.

The two chatted quickly.

Alice was not as relaxed as she used to be. It was obvious that the journey to Jianhai had gone through a lot of difficulties. At that time, the situation in Wudun even felt difficult for Romon, and it was extremely difficult for her to reach Jianhai.

It's just that the two of them talked about the past for a long time.

But Elise did not mention any difficulties that needed help.

Roman felt a little weird.

Alice is a member of the Knights of the Dawn, but she didn't go to the Knights, and she didn't even mention these words.The other party contacted him in such a secret way, he must have something to say.

Otherwise, if there is no special situation, why don't you just go to yourself and ask a middleman to pass the message with a token?
Romon also made mental preparations for this.

If Alice really has any troublesome difficulties, she can slowly figure out a solution. Everything is possible when people are alive.

See her preoccupied.

Romon took the initiative to ask, "How are you doing recently? Where's Jasper? Why haven't we seen him?"

Alice sighed and said, "Jasper suffered misfortune in Wudun and didn't come out alive. I'm fine, I have some savings in my hand, and I will continue to work as a private detective after I come to Jianhai, and my income is not bad."

Romon hesitated to speak.

He wanted to tell the other party that he had a connection with the Dawn Knights, but Alice didn't seem to mention the meaning of the Dawn Knights.

Romon, who didn't understand the situation, still kept his mouth shut.

His intuition told him that Alice was a bit tricky here, and the other party might not be able to help herself.

Romon took a sip of the beer, "Then do you need any help? I've been in Jianhai for a long time, and I know quite a few friends from all walks of life. Are you embarrassed to ask us two?"

Alice shook her head, "No, I'm fine now.

I asked you out today, just to catch up with you.If we are free in the future, we can also go out together, anyway, the time is still long. "

Romon nodded. Since the other party didn't say anything, there was nothing he could do.

After the two drank a few glasses of wine, Alice hurriedly put on her hood, bid farewell to Romond, and left the Flame Tavern.

Seeing the other party wrapped tightly and leaving in a steam carriage, Romon sighed.

Although I could feel that there were some weird things in Alice's words, she didn't say anything, and Romon couldn't make random guesses.

"It shouldn't be a big problem. If there is really trouble, she will definitely not be polite to me." Romon shook his head.

Alice became much quieter.

It should be the death of Jasper and those members of the Knights of the Dawn that hit her hard, and she has not yet come out of the pain of those shadows.

Forget it, I should pay attention to the spirit monkey skull first.

……

Crash.

The wheels of the steam carriage rolled and drove smoothly out of Forge Street.

Originally, there was only Alice alone in the carriage carriage, but the opposite seat suddenly changed from transparent to solid, revealing a figure.

The other party was wearing a black embroidered cheongsam, showing smooth and white thighs, and a pair of coquettish green eyes stared at Elise, "It seems that you have failed, my guest, you should know the consequences of failure!"

Elise raised her head with angry eyes, "You contacted my friend without my consent!"

"Why, do you think our Undertow will be a charity organization?
I am also thinking about you.

That friend of yours, at least seems to be doing well, and should have some savings.

Even if he can't pay back your debt, it should be a perfect sacrifice material, don't you think?Sacrifice a friend of yours, and you'll be completely free. "

The woman wondered.

Alice clenched her fists, her face turned pale: "You guys are too deceitful!"

She never thought that the other party could actually contact Romon.

This organization called the Undertide Society was what she met in Wudun.

At that time, Jasper and other members of the Knights had already died in the upheaval in Wudun. Alice originally wanted to try to leave by herself, but unexpectedly encountered the Undertide Society.

The other party was a special lending organization that proposed a deal to her.

Pay five hundred gold and take her out of Wudun.

After thinking about it, Alice agreed, and signed a contract of order with the other party.

But when they finally arrived at Jianhai, the other party actually asked for an additional fee.Five hundred gold pounds is just a deposit, and five thousand gold pounds must be paid to complete the transaction.And the order contract signed at that time, for some reason, did not take effect on them!
Alice immediately reacted and fell into the trap!

It's just that she wants to resist, but the opponent's strength is terrifyingly strong, and she is still bound by the contract of order.

Those who escaped from Wudun on the Undertide Club boat with her were also blackmailed.

They are all folk awakeners.

Someone secretly went to the Bureau of Investigation to report the case, but it never appeared again.Some people organized a team to rise up to resist, but they became sacrifices for the ceremony held by the Undertide Society.

Alice's every move was monitored by the other party, and she couldn't find any chance.

There are more than one third-order awakened in the opponent's organization!
The rules of the Undertow Club are also very simple.

If you pay back the money, everything is fine.

You can steal, rob, borrow, or cheat, and the undercurrent will repay the money no matter how you do it.

However, those who do not pay the money within a certain period of time will be regarded as sacrifices in the Undertide Ceremony.

For those guys who have been tricked to the point of being unable to repay their bills, the Undertow has prepared a way.

That is to find another awakened person as a sacrifice to take his place!

all in all.

Those who have had transaction disputes with the Undertide Association are all caught in the net of this lending trap.

Most of the guys who couldn't repay, but didn't dare to take the risk to report the crime, would choose to coax another Extraordinary Awakened to get rid of the entanglement of the Undertide Society.With the assistance of the Undertide Society, the difficulty of this option is much lower.

But Elise knew that.

If you really do this, you will only be completely threatened by the Undertide Society, and you will definitely become their puppet in the future.

Once this happens, it is really beyond redemption.

She had wanted to stall for time to look for an opportunity.

But she never expected that these guys would find her old friends.

Moreover, this is the teaching of the Furnace Church, and the Undertide Society has no restraint here, which makes Alice feel even more terrifying about the other party's strength.

She didn't dare to disclose these inside information to Romon to avoid involving him.

With the strength of the Undertide Society, even if Romon knew about it, he would just buy one get one free, and give away one more head.The Flame Tavern is the property of the Undertow Society, if she dared to say a word just now, the Undertide Society would probably do it immediately.

The carriage moved forward at full speed.

Alice sniffed the smell in the air, a look of determination appeared in her eyes, and she jumped out of the carriage in an instant!

She smelled members of the Church of the Unending Forge.

It was a very pungent and hot taste, and it didn't smell very good.But at this moment, it has become her hope of saving her life. Only by running directly to the church law enforcement team can she get rid of the entanglement of the Undertide Society.

Those who wanted to report the crime and seek help from the church and the Bureau of Investigation were intercepted and killed by members of the Undertide Society on the way, without even a single chance.These borrowers are always under the surveillance of the Undertide Society.

Now may be her only chance, and she must seize it.

But Elise jumped out.

The woman in a cheongsam, showing her thighs as smooth as suet and jade sneered, and floated out like a ghost.

A phantom suddenly appeared behind Alice, firmly locked her neck, and dragged her back into the carriage forcibly.

"I thought you had given up, but it seems that you are still dishonest. Since you can't raise money and want to escape, then send it to the Undertide Ceremony."

A strange smile appeared in the woman's eyes.

Alice struggled violently, but her limbs seemed to be bound by heavy shackles, unable to move, unable to resist the opponent's ability, and even her spiritual energy was blocked and unable to use.

"Stop struggling, a second-order awakened person still wants to break free from my lock? Word lock."

The woman snorted coldly.

Alice felt her mouth was stuck with glue and couldn't make a sound.

Immediately afterwards, the carriage drove out of the Furnace Parish without any hindrance, then passed through several prosperous regions all the way, and finally stopped at a secluded port.

In front of the port, the two of them boarded a small boat and went all the way out to sea to a remote island about two nautical miles away from the sea.

On the leeward side of the island, there is a huge iron cargo ship with six tower-like exhaust chimneys, docked in the dark port, like a giant beast.

This ship is the ship that the Dark Tide will carry people from Wudun to Mid-Hai.

Alice will not forget.

At this time, in the center of the small island, a blazing bonfire was burning, and under the dark night, the rising billowing smoke was perfectly covered.

More than a dozen men and women were tied up in the center of the campfire.

There is a huge high platform there, with various dense symbols carved on it, as if there are tadpoles crawling on it, making people feel dizzy at a glance.

This group of people tied up on the high platform are all awakened ones.

Their psychic energy was suppressed, and even their minds were blurred. They sat in a daze, waiting for the fire to harvest their lives.

Under the high platform and on the ground around the bonfire, there are lines of strange words carved in blood. These words twist and dance under the light and shadow of the flames, giving them a sense of mystery.

Boom, boom, boom.

More than a dozen people wearing luxurious gold ornaments and colorfully painted faces danced around the bonfire.

Their dancing steps are ghostly, and their mouths spit out ghostly whispers and buzzing sounds.

"The ceremony has begun. This group of people who cannot repay their debts will be sent to the Kingdom of the Dark Tide King, and let them use their lives to repay their debts."

Two men with golden masks on their faces in the distance watched this scene and communicated in a low voice.

The dark tide will use the color of the mask to distinguish the nobility of status.

The golden color is the leader of the Dark Tide Association, and only the third-order awakened ones are eligible to wear the golden mask.

What will be held here tonight is the ceremony of the Undertide Society's worship of faith.

They need to worship the Dark Tide King on a regular basis in order to obtain the divine power bestowed by the King.

wow.

Just as the two golden-masked leaders were talking, a small boat docked.

Women in cheongsams walked ashore, their waists twisting in various styles.

Holding Alice in her hand, she chuckled and said, "It seems that I'm not late. The Undertide Ceremony has just begun. There is a fellow here who is about to escape halfway, and I just threw her in to dedicate to the great Lord."

Neither of the two gold-masked guys objected.

"Hurry up and don't disrupt the process of the ceremony. Once a ceremony is held tonight, we will immediately flee to the sea, so as not to attract the attention of the investigation bureau and the three major churches. After the debt from Jianhai is collected, we will go directly to the Gaobang Alliance On the Jianhai side, I always feel uneasy in my heart, just because of the defeat of the Gaobang Alliance, the current situation is relatively chaotic, which can allow us to grow stronger."

A golden mask said.

The other person also nodded in agreement: "Indeed, we will leave after finishing this vote. Jianhai is too dangerous."

The woman in cheongsam curled her lips and didn't continue to talk to the two of them. She walked to the blazing bonfire, looked at the exquisite high platform on the bonfire, and sneered at Elise: "The people on the high platform will follow the flames. Burning, the temperature rises, and they are slowly steamed. They will not feel pain at the beginning, but after that, they will feel severe pain. Finally, they die in the terrifying high temperature and go to the kingdom of the dark tide king."

Alice gritted her teeth, but the opponent's ability to block psionic energy made her unable to fight alone.

not to mention.

This is also the base camp of the Undertide Society.

There are several third-order awakeners!
"Spirit lock."

The woman in the cheongsam put two fingers on her bright red lips and made a hissing gesture, and the spirit that Alice found seemed to be locked.

It was like this before.

Her psychic power, hands and feet were all bound by invisible shackles.

The woman sneered and threw her onto the high platform.

At the moment on the high platform, Alice was the only one who was awake, and could intuitively feel the heat from the soles of her feet, just like stepping on burning coals.

Pain strikes.

The fear of death reminded her of meeting Romon just now, even if she told Romon, nothing could be changed...

If she told Romon the truth at that time, the other party would also be controlled by the people of the Undertide Society, no matter what she chose, she had no choice.

This is a dead end.

Alice gritted her teeth, her vision began to blur, and the intense temperature was unbearable even for the awakened.

But at this time.

Under the night in front of them, there seemed to be a commotion among the members of the Undertide Society, and even the group of members dancing around the bonfire stopped abruptly.

Alice felt something was wrong in her heart, but her consciousness had already begun to blur.

In blurred vision before coma.

She vaguely saw a giant arrow shooting towards the high platform.

That seems to be... the bolts of a heavy siege crossbow!But how could there be siege equipment on this small island?

When this thought flashed through my mind, there was a bang.

The built altar was shattered by the arrow, and the people on the high platform rolled down like dumplings. Suddenly, Alice felt the invisible shackles that bound her hands and feet loosened. Her strong desire to survive made her roll immediately, her body Flip several times and roll into a nearby bush.

She immediately hid her breath and hid in the bushes without moving.

Others weren't as lucky as she was.

Most of the unconscious sacrifices fell directly into the bonfire pit. Even if they couldn't be burned to death for a while, they would definitely be burnt beyond recognition.

boom!
Just in that moment, another huge arrow from a siege crossbow was shot out.

"Eldest sister is mighty!"

Romon watched as Swana held the Backblade Spear in one hand, and picked up a siege bolt as thick as a bucket with the other hand, and threw it like a javelin. For a while, he could only cheer from the side.

This is a siege crossbow made entirely of refined iron, weighing more than two hundred catties.

After being enchanted by an Awakened member of the Investigation Bureau next to it, the arrow still carries a destructive fire magic, which is equivalent to a precision-guided strike, and it will explode as soon as it falls.

This thing is much more powerful than muskets.

Ordinary bullets have no effect on awakened people, but if this thing hits a first or second-order awakened person, the whole body will not be left behind.

Swana hit it with one shot, and with great interest, she raised another javelin again, and continued to aim at the center of the island and throw it out.It seems that because of Amos' death, she has no place to vent her grievances, and these guys just hit the muzzle of the gun.

Seeing this, Romon said in a deep voice: "I'll go to the island first to have a look. These cultists are here to organize evil sacrifices. Maybe they have left a way out. I'm afraid they will escape from other places."

Swana looked like someone who came here: "Go, your friend should be fine. It usually takes a long time for these guys from the Undertide Society to hold a cult, and it's just started now."

Being pointed out, Romon smiled faintly and rushed directly into the island.

After leaving with Alice, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Finally, he squatted on the corner of the street for a while, just in time to see Alice being taken away, and the woman in cheongsam getting out of the carriage.

The other party is a third-order awakened person, and the breath on his body is a bit evil.

The vigilant Romon immediately called the police.

To be precise, he went directly to the Investigation Bureau and asked Sister Swana to dispatch.

For a case like this that is only suspected but has no evidence, the Bureau of Investigation usually has to investigate for several days first, and then continue to formulate a combat plan after confirming what happened.

The investigation bureau is very busy, not everything will be mobilized.

But the relationship between Romon and Swana doesn't need to be so troublesome.

After the other party heard the general situation from Romon, they directly took their men and commandeered a ship from the port to rush over.

Swana wants to learn the six skills of knights, and there will be many things to trouble Romon in the future, so she is extremely attentive to her work.

"Head, the encirclement is almost complete. There are about seventy members of the Undertide Society on this island, and there are still many victims on their freighter."

A member of the Bureau of Investigation came running out of the night.

Swana stopped throwing, stretched her body, her silver scale armor gleamed under the moonlight, "Okay, everyone, follow me, and slaughter all these evil sacrifice holders!"

She gave a loud shout, and an invisible aura emanated from her body.

Accompanied by her breathing like a thunderous drum, the members of the investigation bureau were all ignited with high fighting spirit.

As soon as the words fell, Swana stepped on her footsteps, picked up the reverse blade gun, and rushed towards the large freighter of the Undertide Society.

The foundation of the Undertide Club is on board.

Although the evil sacrifice is being held on the island tonight, the main force is not on the freighter, but as long as the freighter is gone, none of the members of the Undertide Society will be able to escape.

The other party was obviously aware of this, and after being attacked by the Bureau of Investigation, they had already begun to return to rescue the cargo ship.

Just facing Siwana, a fourth-order awakened person, they were like facing a god of war.

……

within the island.

Because the ceremony was interrupted, a group of members of the Undertow were furious and angry, but the siege arrows that were fired killed several people, and the situation suddenly became chaotic.

With the sound of war coming from the freighter, these guys became even more confused.

Romon put on the mask of the hypocrite, followed his footsteps, and soon found Alice who was running away in the woods.

The other party ran for his life with all his might, but the cheongsam woman behind him chased after him.

The Bureau of Investigation arrived suddenly, and the Undertide Society immediately suspected Elise.

Only Alice rushed over from behind. The investigation bureau came as soon as she came, and everyone knew that there was a problem.At this moment, the girl in cheongsam thought of the conversation she had had in the tavern, and her doubts increased even more.

Must catch this guy!
Whether it's to vent her anger or to take a hostage, Alice can't slip away from her hands.

"Give up, where can you go again?"

A gleam of coldness appeared in the eyes of the woman in cheongsam, but at this moment, a very dangerous premonition suddenly flashed in her heart.

Almost subconsciously.

The woman in the cheongsam hurriedly rolled around, and a half-human-sized rock flew over her cheek, smashing down several big trees in the middle, and punching a hideous hole in the ground beside her.

She hurriedly turned her head, only to see a figure walking out from the shadow of the whirling tree, blocking her way.

Such a delay.

Alice had already run hundreds of meters away.

If you want to pursue her, you must face the attack of this strange man.If you don't solve this guy in advance, I'm afraid it will be difficult to continue to do other things.

"The dog leg of the Bureau of Investigation is really annoying."

The cheongsam woman's eyes flashed a cold look, she quickly distanced herself from Romon, and then opened her mouth, "Yan Suo!"

Romon was about to speak, but found that he was suddenly unable to speak.

Language lock, lock the other party's language ability?

Roman was surprised.

This guy's ability is a bit weird. If you use this ability to target those awakened people who speak spirits and spells, wouldn't it be invincible?Directly disgust the other party to death.

However, the current ability seems to only make people unable to speak, which basically has no effect on Romon.

But at this moment, the cheongsam woman spoke again: "Body lock!"

Romon suddenly felt that his limbs were getting heavier, and every movement was extremely difficult.

A sneer appeared on the face of the woman in cheongsam: "However, if you dare to come here alone after entering the third level, it would be too contemptuous of us."

With a clatter, she took off her cheongsam.

Luo Meng was surprised for a moment, thinking it was some kind of new charm technique, and was about to try his concentration, but who knew that this guy didn't play cards according to the routine at all, looking at his graceful figure, it turned out to be Poor skin.Those skins had rotted away, and some were still oozing thick green water.

But the most obvious feature is the coin on the opponent's skin.

The densely packed coins were inlaid on her skin, sinking into the flesh and sticking together with the fascia.

These coins are not from one country.

Romon glanced at it hastily, and at least saw the currencies of several countries.

The Gaobang Alliance, the Plantagenet Empire, and the Olympian Empire, the coins of the three major countries of the Northern Continent, as well as the coins of some small countries, as well as those ancient coins that have existed in history.

These coins are densely embedded on the body, which makes people feel extremely evil and disgusting.

Romon didn't know what kind of thing this guy worshiped, the Undertow King, but judging from her body, people who believed in this thing really didn't behave like a human being.

After the cheongsam girl took off her clothes, she looked at Romon with a sneer, with an expression like you were dead.

She reached out to touch her abdomen, and pulled out a bloody coin, with some bloody muscles torn off from it.

Immediately afterwards, she threw the coin forward, and it exploded in mid-air, countless metal fragments rushed towards Romon.

The weird attack method opened Romon's eyes.

The other party seems to be having a good time!

But well...

Romon's eyes sank, white smoke billowed from his body, his body shrank, his muscles bulged, and he instantly entered a fighting state.

Fat burning state!
This is his combination of fat-burning gymnastics, triathlon, and mixed martial arts. The new move is named Fat-burning state.

The huge power in his body instantly made Romon break free from the shackles of the opponent's ability.

The woman in cheongsam is obviously aware of this.

There was a look of disbelief in her eyes, and she pulled out a coin again, and the red blood was sprayed on it, and the coin exploded into countless pieces and rushed towards Romon.

There was a sound of Jin Ge clashing.

Gray-white scales appeared on Romon's hands, blocking all the fragments, and then roared forward, the sudden mental shock made the woman dazed for a while.

Take this opportunity.

Romeng stepped forward with a tiger step, and bombarded the cheongsam woman with an explosive punch.

wow.

A harsh friction sounded.

The coins on the chest of the woman in the cheongsam were broken off in large pieces, exposing blurred flesh and blood.

The corrosive sound of chi chi sounded from her skin, and the corrosive spiritual energy began to take effect immediately after blasting into her body.

"You clearly practice meditation, why?" The woman stepped back quickly, her eyes filled with incredible shock.

"Because I am born with supernatural power!"

Romon grinned, stomped his footsteps, followed like lightning, and punched like a torrential rain.

The coins inlaid in the woman's skin were blown apart one by one.

They resisted Romon's attack, and the blasted fragments were constantly counterattacking, trying to pierce Romon's skin.

It's just that it's doomed to be useless.

Combining the fat-burning state with the rock snake scale armor, Romon can punch freely without any scruples.And using the strength of the twisted tendons, once it hits, it will scrape off a large piece of flesh and blood from the opponent.

The six skills of the knight - breaking the water, twisting the tendons, stepping on the wind, moving the mountain, slamming, and returning to the heart.

Every skill is a martial skill that has been tempered in actual combat.

Although Romon is only familiar with the first three skills now, it is more than enough to deal with the one in front of him.

It's just that the third-order awakened people are not so easy to kill.

The terrifying fist wind pierced through the body, and punched several hideous and terrifying blood holes in the chest of the cheongsam woman. The opponent's seven orifices were bleeding, but he did not die. Instead, he grabbed a handful of coins and swallowed them in his mouth. Then she His flesh and blood swelled rapidly.

Romon stepped forward, stepped back more than ten meters, pulled out the pistol on his waist far away, and shot out two flaming bullets.

Boom!

Two balls of flames exploded on the cheongsam woman.

The burnt smell of barbecue came, but it did not stop the mutation process.

Her body swelled rapidly, her limbs touched the ground, her thighs became thick and powerful, but her forelimbs began to degenerate, becoming short and lean.

The originally rotten skin turned completely withered black.

The coins inlaid in her skin turned into bulging pustules one after another, expanding and contracting with breathing, like beating hearts.

toad!
This animal suddenly appeared in Luo Meng's mind.

The movement of the other party is almost exactly the same as that of Toad.

But the appearance is countless times uglier than the real toad, and the foul-smelling black liquid is continuously sprayed out from the pustules, falling on the ground, corroding trees, flowers and plants.

"Damn it, cuckoo...you have to die for making me look so ugly!"

The woman's body several times larger was prostrate on the ground, and her two fist-sized eyes were sickly green, staring at Romon viciously, with green pus continuously flowing out of them.

Gollum.

With a strange cry, she kicked her legs and rushed straight.

"Die!"

There was a fierce light on the woman's ugly cheeks, and an exaggerated arc was split at the corner of her mouth, inside were rows of sharp teeth, trying to tear Romon apart completely.

The shadow of death strikes.

"The python changes!"

Romon's whole body erupted with terrifying aura, and his whole body suddenly expanded into a circle, his bulging arms were squeezed together, and he was smashing down on the body of the humanoid toad.

"Muscle Strength Explosion Inch Kill!!"

The two collided suddenly.

It was like popping a balloon filled with black water.

The human-shaped toad was smashed to pieces by this punch in mid-air, and all kinds of flesh and blood tissues, accompanied by a large amount of coins, fell from mid-air.

In the silence of the night.

Romon twisted his wrist, looked at the woman who had only two legs left, and let out a breath of anger: "If you die, you will explode gold coins, or you guys will have fun with the dark tide."

dark place.

Alice, who had been paying attention to the situation of the battle, covered her mouth, her eyes showing various emotions of shock and bewilderment.

The scent on the other person was terribly familiar, but she couldn't believe the answer in her heart. This man like a demon god did not match the Romon in her memory at all!
